Hire gRPC Experts | Nearshore Software Development

gRPC is a modern, open-source, high-performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking, and authentication. You need an expert who can leverage gRPC to build a fast, efficient, and robust communication layer for your microservices. Our vetting process, powered by Axiom Cortex™, finds engineers who are masters of high-performance RPC. We test their ability to design a well-structured API with Protocol Buffers, to implement gRPC services and clients in various languages, and to handle the complexities of a distributed system.

Is your REST-based inter-service communication slow and inefficient?

The Problem

REST over HTTP/1.1 can be slow and inefficient for high-volume, low-latency communication between microservices, due to its text-based nature and the overhead of establishing new connections for each request.

The TeamStation AI Solution

We vet for engineers who are experts in building high-performance microservices with gRPC. They must demonstrate the ability to use gRPC's binary protocol over HTTP/2 to build a communication layer that is fast, efficient, and supports streaming.

Proof: Low-Latency and High-Throughput Communication

Are you struggling with a lack of strong contracts between your services?

The Problem

Without a strong, well-defined API contract, it's easy for services to get out of sync, leading to runtime errors and integration nightmares.

The TeamStation AI Solution

Our engineers are proficient in Protocol Buffers, gRPC's interface definition language. They are vetted on their ability to design a clear, strongly-typed API contract that serves as a single source of truth for your services, enabling you to generate type-safe client and server code in any language.

Proof: Strongly-Typed and Language-Agnostic APIs

Core Competencies We Validate

gRPC core concepts and architecture

Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) for API design

Unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streaming RPCs

Error handling and deadlines

Authentication and security

Our Technical Analysis

The gRPC evaluation focuses on building high-performance, cross-language APIs. Candidates are required to design and implement a gRPC service using Protocol Buffers, demonstrating their understanding of the different RPC types. A critical assessment is their ability to handle errors and to use deadlines to build a resilient system. We also test their knowledge of how to secure a gRPC service using TLS and authentication tokens. Finally, we assess their experience in using gRPC in a polyglot microservices environment.
